This David Aldridge is getting just praise for helping to retell a story that far too many have ignored. One of the through lines of the story is the Crowe family, Ray and George, both of whom attended Indiana Central (now University of Indianapolis), as did Mr. Robertson's brother, Bailey.

Love that this was posted! Mr. DeJernett is a large reason the legendary Ray Crowe decided to matriculate University of Indianapolis. This legacy of pioneering University of Indianapolis sports in the 1930s is understudied, despite the efforts of colleagues such as Lawrence Sondhaus and students such as Liz.
